<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hard film-coated member, even in the case a hard film whose hardness is increased is coated for improving wear resistance and seizure resistance, the adhesion between an iron alloy base material whose surface is formed with a nitride layer and the hard film is excellent; and to provide a fixing tool having the hard film-coated member. Ž<P>SOLUTION: The hard film-coated member is obtained by forming a nitride layer on the surface of an iron alloy base material, and thereafter forming a nitride film, a carbide film or a carbonitride film on the nitride layer by a PVD process. When the peak of X-ray diffraction in an Fe-N compound in the nitride layer is measured under the conditions of incidence angle θ-diffraction angle 2θ, the peak intensity ratio of the (111) of the γ' phase (Fe<SB>4</SB>N) to the peak of the (101) of the ε phase (Fe<SB>2-3</SB>N) is ≤60%.
